Keep crew and passengers out of the water during docking with a compact, easy-to-use dock hook that works without external assistance. Key benefits Prevents falls: Acts during docking to stop accidental slips or falls into the water, improving safety for anyone on board. Remote obstacle bypass: Built-in switch mechanism lets you bypass obstacles such as pilings or mooring lines from a distance, reducing the need for awkward manual reach or a second person. Fast, secure installation: Threaded connector allows a simple, firm attachment to standard boat handles, saving installation time and effort. Compact, telescopic storage: Telescoping design extends and retracts smoothly for use and then collapses to fit tight storage spaces and lockers. What it does and how it helps Function: A self-contained dock hook that engages during docking to prevent falls and to navigate around common docking obstacles remotely. Compatibility: Designed to mount on conventional boat handles using the included threaded connection; compatible with typical handrail and grip fittings. Size & storage: Collapsible, telescopic form factor for easy portability and storage in small lockers or compartments. Performance: Smooth extension/retraction mechanism and a reliable switching action for remote obstacle bypass during docking operations. Typical use scenarios Marina docking: Use when approaching a crowded slip to keep hands and feet clear of gaps and eliminate the need for a crew member to step onto the dock. Tight-slip maneuvering: Quickly bypass pilings and mooring lines remotely while securing the boat, reducing the risk of entanglement or accidental falls. Small-boat storage: Collapse the hook to stow in limited locker space when not in use; easily reinstall on the handle before departure.
